1976 Triumph 740cc T160 Trident
Registration no. ORC 509P
Frame no. T160BN07144
Engine no. T160BN07144

It is generally thought that with the T160, Triumph finally got it right, and had the T160 been their first rather than their last triple, the Trident might have been more successful than it was. This matching numbers machine was one of the last: the final civilian T160 being number BN07166. It seems likely that it was re-imported because the date of first registration in the UK was 19.7.95. Documents include a V5C, a dating letter from the Triumph Owners Club, some old photos showing restoration progress (date unknown), and various old MoTs, the last of which expired in 2005. Acquired by the vendor's late husband in May 2000, this T160 has clearly not been used for some time. It was noticed that some work is needed on the front brake, and general re-commissioning is advised before further use.
